First, check with whomever did the work. Most paint shops have recommendations...or they should. I had some minor work done and they told me to wait 90 days.

I generally recommend to my clients that they wait 3-4 months before using a wax/sealant after a spray. Different manufactures recommend different intervals, but most all of them cure within 4 months. If you do regular washes, the paint will be just fine waiting that long.
